I didn't fall in love until the first two track from Feels, "Did You See The Worlds," and "Grass." That would be another reason why I'm all about Avey, and don't care much for Panda Bear. I still haven't listened to the new one. I'm in no rush to pop my cherry, I'm waiting for the right moment. Feels is responsible for my love as well. It was those 2 tracks, but even moreso 'The Purple Bottle' that really did it for me. I'm also all about Avey, but just because I'm all about Paul doesn't mean I don't get the fuck down when I hear 'Dig a Pony'. I envy your patience with the new one. She's worth the lifetime commitment.

Animal Collective fans aren't made! They're born! You can't just go buy any album. It's scientific. You gotta buy Strawberry Jam. It's the departure point. Listen to it every night around dusk for about a month. Then buy Sung Tongs, then I want you to steal a car, get in it, and drive west. Play the album full blast. When the album ends, get out, and get into a fight. Then get back into the car, then come back and meet me in Columbia, Maryland. I will let you into the most prestigious amphitheater of all time... the Meriweather Post Pavilion. Then... you're gonna be an Animal Collective fan, man. I loves ya, Lumpledoo. Hopin' you'd appreciate that. <33333

Whatevs, Pullhair is just wankery. It's a lovely album if you re-reverse it, but damn it back when kids used to buy new music on cassettes there used to be this thing that happened where the tape would get warped or flipped around inside the cassette somehow and when you'd go to play it, it would be playing backwards and it was the most frustrating thing to have your new 'Weird Al' Yankovic tape go all shitty on you. When I listen to Pullhair as it was released, I am filled with rage.
Sung Tongs + LSD is definitely what sold me on Animal Collective, but it was 'Banshee Beat' that caused me to re-evaluate Sung Tongs after years of utterly despising it. That particular spin of Sung Tongs is one of the most exciting and important listening experiences of my entire life, though.

Seeing AC at Coachella in 2011 jump-started my bad trip.

Sorry to derail the AC train (not really), but I just heard about this. Weezer's planning their very own adult summer camp. www.nme.com/news/weezer/65930Honestly, if it wasn't Weezer I think this would be the most fun thing ever. I feel like I missed out on the summer camp thing in youth and would just kill to go to it. (Of course, I imagine summer camp to be exactly like Wet Hot American Summer, so I'd probably be disappointed.)

Man, fuck bad trips. Is there anything worse than a fucking bad trip? It's like getting food poisoning from ice cream, you're like what the fuck, I'm supposed to be having fun right now.
I've never had a bad trip on acid -- in my experience it's always been a matter of choice -- but I've had enough bad trips on other shit to know that I don't feel like dealing with that shit. Not ever.

That particular spin of Sung Tongs is one of the most exciting and important listening experiences of my entire life, though. That must've been one fuck of a trip if you heard a Feels song while playing Sung Tongs. Believe me, I know the feeling. One time I saw Bjork's entire biography through Homogenic. Like, from her birth alll the way into the future where she conducts robotic space orchestras from remote planets in alternate universes and shit.

What I meant was that I owned a copy of Sung Tongs for years, and I actively hated it until Feels was released; I was working at a Borders here in Oregon when Feels came out, and I put it on the overhead speakers one day and when I heard 'Banshee Beat' I decided to go home and give Sung Tongs another listen.

I dig your style. Like a fine wine with age, 'Banshee Beet' has breached my top 5 AC songs, and has become the non-Strawberry J tune that I would most enjoy seeing performed live.

Maaaaaaaaan, bad trips on molly/ecstasy are so fucking weird. Like, DOES NOT COMPUTE.Speaking of bad trips, I feel like AC's Today's Supernatural Video is the epitome of what my ultimate bad trip would be like (aside from the music part). I hate clowns with the passion of my soul and Avey makes a truly scary clown. Look mom, I embedded a video!

Love that video, although increasingly it seems that Avey has inadvisably ripped a page from Danny Elfman's Book of Cool.
